What a terrible Padres game tonight - I watched the whole damn thing. I did have a decent genealogy day. They paved our street today.
* Read email and blogs, then wrote Aunt Gerry in 2006 -- Post 364 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday and Ancestry.com Subscription Rates - Are They Changing?
* Left at 11:10 a.m. for McDonalds for lunch, then to the library for John's group and then the CVGS Computer Group. Not much of interest for me, so looked through SlideShare presentations for most of it.
* Home by 2 p.m., but had to park on Naples and walk in. Linda did too. Read email and blogs, and then took a nap.
* Up at 3:30 p.m. to go fetch the cars and put the trash cans out. Back to check out MyHeritage Record Matches and wrote Brazil Immigration Cards on MyHeritage Record Matches.
* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch TV and eat dinner, then online at 6:15 p.m. to read, and add some content and sources from some of the small Record Match groups on MyHeritage.
* Went in at 7:10 p.m. to watch the Padres game. Read the paper, and my book, and then the tablet. Padres lost 16-2 to Oakland, worst game of the year...now 32-36 and falling fast. Apparently, the problem wasn't Buddy after all. But I knew that!
* Online at 10 p.m. to write this post, will do some random database work until bedtime. Genealogy today was 7.0 hours.

My Genealogy Days - 15 and 16 June 2015
Only 14 more days and 2015 is half over. Time sure flies when you're having fun. I didn't journal last night because we got home from the Padres game.
1) Monday, 15 June 2015:
* Read email and blogs, added to the Best Of post, and noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 272: 1785 Deed of Silvanus White to Jonathan White in Bristol County, Mass. posted.
* Joined Mondays With Myrt, and talked about the Virtual Pedigree app. Noted that New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - June 6 to 12, 2015 posted.
* Wrote two posts on the CVGS blog and wrote up the SDGS program.
* Answered email, checked Ancestry Hints, had lunch, and must have done something useful until I wrote Ancestry.com Sends Me a Hint Notice, and Now a Problem! UPDATED: Fixed!
* Laid down for 40 minutes but didn't nap. Read blogs, then we left at 5 p.m. for the Padres game. Ate at the Tin Fish and in Petco by 6:30 p.m. Pads lost to Oakland 9-1. A terrible game. We are now 3-6 in person, very disappointing. Pads 32-34.
* Home by 10:45 p.m., read email and blogs, but didn't journal. Genealogy this day was 8.0 hours.
2) Tuesday, 16 June 2015:
* Read email and blogs, wrote Tuesday's Tip - Cemetery Record Collections on FamilySearch, then wrote Ancestry.com Fixes Yesterday's Problem.
* Finally started on the Ten Best Free Websites presentation and got half of them done.
* Answered email, then went in to watch the Padres game. Had lunch, read the paper, and Pads lost 6-5 to the A's. so now 32-35 and the new manager is 0-1. Frustrated still.

* Went in at 5:15 p.m. to watch TV, eat dinner, water the front yard, and was online at 6:30 p.m. to read, add to the Best Of post, and work through over 200 Ancestry Hints. Got the last 7 days done. Added some content and sources, but 90% of them are not suitable.
* Worked in RootsMagic adding persons to FamilySearch Family Tree in a random Seaver line.
* Checked Facebook, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 10.0 hours.

My Geneaholic Friday - 12 June 2015
This was almost a stay-at-home Friday...but I got quite a bit done. Except the new presentation which I haven't started.

My Genealogy Tuesday and Wednesday, 9 - 10 June 2015
These were two very different genealogy days...
1) Tuesday, 9 June 2015:
* Read email and blogs, updated the Jamboree compendium, and we were off to Huntington Beach at 8:45 a.m. Got there by 10:30 a.m.
* Met Tami at their house, and we were off to Audrey's school for her VIP essay about me. That went well. We went to lunch at Super Mex, and back to the house by 1 p.m. I took an hour nap, then played on my phone until it was time to meet Tami at the dance recital at 3:45 p.m.
* We got to the recital place, watched Lauren's dancing and singing, took too many videos (the memory on my phone ran out), and were done by 4:45. Met Tami at In 'n' Out for dinner at 5:10 and left at 5:30 for the musical concert at Lauren's school which started at 6. Took more videos with Linda's camera. We took some photos afterwards.
* We headed for home at 6:45 p.m. and were home at 8:30, listened to the Padres game all the way down (they lost 6-5 to the Braves).
* Online to read email and blogs, noted that Tuesday's Tip - Rhode Island Record Collections on FamilySearch and SCGS Jamboree 2015 Tech Zone posted. Updated the Jamboree blog compendium and Best Of posts. Checked Facebook.
* Went in at 10:30 p.m. to read for awhile. Didn't journal. Genealogy this day was only 2.5 hours, but family history was 3 more hours.
2) Wednesday, 10 June 2015:
* Read email and blogs, added to the Jamboree and Best Of blogs. Wrote Audrey's VIP Biography -- Post 363 of (Not So) Wordless Wednesday and SDGS Meeting on Saturday, 13 June, Features Hal Horrocks. Worked on the photos and videos from Tuesday, putting them into file folders. Sent the Drive email to Tami.
* Packed up at 11 a.m. and off to lunch at McDonalds, then to the library and city hall for the CVGS Research Group meeting. The City wifi wouldn't connect, and my tablet wouldn't connect, so used Gary's Myfi for the first hour.
* Home by 2:15 p.m. to read, then eventually wrote Sorting Out Ancestry.com Hints and Suggested Records.
* Went in at 4:30 p.m. to watch the Padres game, read the paper, eat dinner, put out the trash, and wash dishes. Figured out the tablet problem - needed to reboot - that brought up the cell signal again. That happened before but I forgot. Padres lost 4-1 to the Braves, so now 30-31 on the season. To win 90 games, they need to go 60-41 over the next 101 games.
* Online at 7 p.m. to read, got Linda's videos onto the desktop, then worked on the 1920 Census Hints - cleared 42 names, so now down to 596 to go. I'm in the G surnames now.
* Checked Facebook, updated the Best Of and Jamboree blogs,, and wrote this post. Genealogy today was 9.5 hours.

We leave for Jamboree in three days...I need to get ready!
* Read email and blogs, noted that Amanuensis Monday - Post 270: 1792 Deed of Stephen Gifford to Humphrey White in Bristol County, Mass. posted.
* Joined Mondays With Myrt and we went until 10:30 a.m. I discussed my Humphrey White house post.
* Added to the Best Of post, answered email, and then worked a bit on the June CVGS Newsletter. I need to have it ready to go on Wednesday night.
* Noted that New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - May 24 to 30, 2015 posted, and wrote Are You Attending the Global Family Reunion on Saturday, 6 June 2015? and set it for mid-afternoon.
* Read, answered more email, and took a 1 hour nap. Checked Facebook and Google+, and checked out several websites. Nothing great...but I have to check.
* We left at 5 p.m. for dinner at El Pollo Loco, but couldn't get in the parking lot, so ended up at Marie Callenders for dinner. Then to the trolley, and to Petco Park for the Padres game. Boring game. Pads lost to the Mets 7-0. Drat. Now 25-28.
* We left in the 8th inning, and home by 10:5 p.m. Read, then wrote this post. Genealogy today was 7.5 hours.
